These cookies are so light & crunchy, & not too sweet. Our neighbor Sandy brought some over, & they have been a MOST FAVORITE ever since!!!

As always, use as many organic ingredients as possible.

1 t. baking soda
1 t. salt
1 t. ground allspice
1 t. cinnamon
1 t. vanilla
1-2 T. grated fresh ginger
